Answer:
XZ ≈ 24.39
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle
tan16° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{XZ}{YZ}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{YZ}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by YZ )
YZ × tan16° = 7
YZ × 0.287 = 7 ( divide both sides by 0.287 )
YZ = [tex]\frac{7}{0.287}[/tex] ≈ 24.39 ( to 2 dec. places )
